The battle won’t only be at the front either. Two separate class wars will be fought with six Brembo-equipped Aston Martins challenging five Corvettes for the GT1 crown while numerous Brembo-shod Ferraris and Porsche will battle for the GT2 class win. Included in the latter group is the #97 Ferrari 430 of Jaime Melo and Mika Salo that won the first four races of the 2007 ALMS season.
In the end, hopefully, Brembo will be able to add another 24 Hours of Le Mans crown to its list of great championships after this weekend.
